I was first introduced to beading when my mom had major surgery and we were looking for an artistic hobby that we could do together while she was on the mend, so we took a beginning beading class! Living with an artist, I had the opportunity to dabble in a lot of different mediums and crafts growing up, but once I started beading I couldn’t stop! I simply loose track of time when I'm designing and creating jewelry. One of my favorite aspects of beading is that it is a very forgiving hobby. Unlike watercolor painting, if you make a mistake stitching with beads you can just take off the offending section and try again; and I’ve done plenty of that!

When I started out, I visited my local bead store so often that they eventually hired me! That was very fortunate for me because I learned even more while working there and after a while I started designing my own beading patterns and teaching adult beading classes. After a few years of struggling with the tough economy, the bead store eventually closed and I moved on to helping a neighbor who makes beautiful handmade quilts set up an Etsy shop so she could sell her quilts online. By helping my neighbor, I inadvertently saw how much fun it is to have an online shop and to be able to share your creations and interact with people all around the world! I soon opened my own shop and haven't looked back since!
